Changes

I do not recommend hitchhiking in Nashville. I was recently arrested on the onramp of I40 heading east for 'soliciting a ride' and 'standing on the interstate' even though i was off of the shoulder, not touching the roadway itself when the cops came. They were almost excited to arrest me, one cop happily saying that this will take the rest of the day for them (it was only about 2pm). They apparently needed 4 different cop cars and 6 cops surrounding me during this process. I was calm and peaceful toward them the whole time, but they did not pay me equal respect. Ive never had any problems hitchhiking until now. Its rediculous that asking people for a ride to Knoxville has landed me with an arrest on my record and tons of fines. -Frodo, 24 July 2017
